If you recall, the Maumee community teamed up with Wayne Trail to help purchase and pack meals for the Feed My Starving Children program in November of 2017. They sent us an update and I thought this was great news to share!
From Feed My Starving Children (FMSC):
I wanted to update you about where the meals from your event shipped now that they have all left our warehouse:
From Feed My Starving Children (FMSC):
I wanted to update you about where the meals from your event shipped now that they have all left our warehouse:
936 Boxes (202,176 meals) shipped to Haiti through Food for the Poor.
Food for the Poor links the church of the First World with the
church of the Third World in a manner that helps both the materially
poor and the poor in spirit. FFTP has distributed FMSC meals through its
extensive network of partner organizations in the
Caribbean, Central America and South America.
72 boxes (15,552 meals) shipped to Malawi through Reach Now International.
Reach Now International reaches orphans, refugees, internally
displaced people, those affected by war, governmental situations,
poverty, persecution and other natural conditions and calamities with
the gospel and practical help. RNI has distributed FMSC
meals in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, Eastern Europe
and the Middle East to serve these populations.
In total, FMSC shipped 1,008 boxes (217,728 meals) that were packed at the 2017 Maumee MobilePack, which could potentially provide
596 kids a meal a day for an entire year! The meals packed at
your event contributed to our ability to send one full shipping
container to each of these partners at this time—that is 1,260 boxes
each—for a total of 544,320 meals to be fed to the least
of these, bringing hope and providing nourishment! A Tanzanian Proverb
says, “Little by little, a little becomes a lot”…one scoop, one bag,
one box, one pallet, one container, fills many bellies at a time… Thank
you for your continued partnership with Feed
My Starving Children; we simply can not do what we do without your love
for our mission and leadership over this event!
